Surprisingly a pretty good movie!

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2017)

Apparently this movie came out 10 years ago, but I had no knowledge of it until today. I'm normally not a big fan of these high budget mainstream action flicks, however this movie has an original entertaining premise, that had me enthralled. I just looked this up on IMDb and, while it's ranked pretty decent, I'm surprised this didn't do very well in the theater. Meanwhile a complete piece of crap like Armageddon can do 200,000,000. I guess I'll never figure it out.
I noticed other reviewers saying that this felt like a 2 part movie, but I didn't think anything of it until I saw some reviews saying that. The first half went pretty fast for me, even though it's the slower portion of the movie. It may just be me, but I was more entertained during the non action sequences, but they have some really big budget action sequences going on.
I acting was top notch all around. I enjoyed the Steve Buscemi character a lot (relatively small role, but was a major plot driver in the movie).
Anyways, if you're someone who is prone to like action movies, I don't know how you pass this one up and who knows you may still enjoy otherwise. Maybe it helps if you find the premise intriguing, which I definitely did.
